IMHO it has been going downhill since George sold it, and it has got worse with every change of owner.

 

Again like you, it is only my opinion.

 

How do you feel being disabled in Thailand, and how do you get around it?

Because Trump has big balls.

And the visa situation is mostly sorted out.

Hate is a bit strong but a lot of them are loud and obnoxious. 

 

I don't see any motorcyclist adding to this thread? There used to be more.

   Nope , in the first Trump election in 2016 , half of the threads were about Trump or Clinton . 

   Literally half , I counted them

26 of the first 50 threads contained the word Trump or Clinton .

How can it be that some people know the "owner" personally?

What is a sook? Is it an Americanism?

[Magictoad]

How can it be that some people know the "owner" personally? When they refer, for example by name to the the person who used to own it and sold it. "George" for example? What the f#(k is that about?

Not complaining, just noticed ever since Thai Visa changed to AN, there is just more complaining and bickering in most posts, mostly from MAGA supporters, not all of course. Years ago, there was information about visas, some of them passed away(RIP), but now it is only about Trump or the USA Why? The world has billions of people a lot of posters are sceptical about Indians, Chinese, and Russians or making stupid remarks about other nationalities. Why is that ? I guess this post isn't going to last a long time, but this is only my opinion.

So its maga that are bickering and lowering the tone? Yeah right, that just goes to show how deluded you are.

This forum is now 97% anti trump, there are about 5 people starting pro trump threads and  the rest are anti..

You really should think before posting

If you don't agree with the world's biggest genius,  you are a communist. 

Probably a Chinese one, maybe living in Russia, with an Indian wife.

In my opinion, the beginning of the decline was when the Thaivisa app was discontinued. In a world where most people conduct their daily social media activities on mobile devices, and specifically on dedicated apps (not in browsers), this was an absurd decision. Now the forum is dedicated to a group of fossils who are slowly dying out.

It did go through a dodgy spell when it was mod orientated. After the more abusive and over-enthusiastic ones got their P45 things have improved a lot.

Welcome to the modern world.

 

I came here to get local (Thai) reliable news and information about being an expat in Thailand.

 

At times there is useful information, especially original news and information posts from moderators, etc.   Thank you very much.

 

Unfortunately, there is also a lot of "fake news and misinformation".

Agreed. It's the anti-Trump leftists who do most of the whining and complaining. They spoil the forum more than anything else. They open new threads about Trump every day.

Every hour

Since this thread has become, unsurprisingly, political, moving to the Soapbox.

Information threads seem roughly about the same to me in the 20 or so years on and off I have visited this site formerly known as ThaiVisa.  A lot of articles still disproportionately targeting Westerners, sometimes just for ones who farted loudly in public and caused 'outrage'. Actually what I have noticed is way more liberal types have invaded the forums, bring back the grumpy old man's club (shoutout to Glitterman for that label), at least when they weren't grumpy they could be decent, unlike liberals who are permanently unlikable.

This thread is exactly what this forum has become with the usual posters.

It used to be more picture sharing of travelling, building, farming, food, cooking, motorbikes, and general curiosity about everything.

 

You could actually find travel reports and pictures without negative comments, and accusing of showing off. 

 

Well most back then where closer to 60 than 80. 

 

Also our money where double than now, and 

 

Well that should sums up the core of the destruction we see.

 

And Donald was not a thing yet.

Interesting. How about the multiple daily new threads complaining about the "bad orange man". If those who have Trump living rent free in their heads 24/7 didn't continuously start threads or for some reason blame Trump for everything my guess is we would see a lot less bickering.

It's quite ridiculous. Biden was president (in body) for 4 years, but all we heard about for those years was Trump, and now that he is president, that same mob has redoubled their efforts.
